168 MHz Cortex-M4 with 1 MB Flash — what this MCU delivers
It packs 1 MB of Flash and 192 KB of SRAM, giving firmware teams room for a full RTOS, communications stacks, and moderate data logging without external memory. The 51 GPIOs, combined with CAN, USB OTG, multiple SPI/I2C/UART interfaces, and a 12-bit ADC (16 channels) plus dual 12-bit DACs, let it handle mixed-signal control in a single chip.
Memory and peripheral fit
The 1 MB Flash is organized as 1M x 8; with 192 KB SRAM on die, the part can hold a moderate application image plus a FAT filesystem buffer or a TCP/IP stack without external SRAM.
Lifecycle status — active for new designs
ST lists this part with an active product status. It remains a valid choice for production builds and new design-ins without near-term obsolescence risk.
